Christmas Time at the Den

Ah, Christmas, tied with Halloween for my favorite holiday. And what better way to express my love of Christmas than decorate the Den. Christmas lights hung all over the place, decorative snowflakes hung from the ceiling, and there was even a towering Christmas tree in the far corner. I rubbed my hands as the various characters from across fiction began pouring into the Den. Looks like some more Disney characters had come, I wonder if Sora had told them about this place. It looked like the Guardians of Childhood had joined the party, the Strawhats, even the Autobots! Still, there wasn't as many people as I hoped there would be. I think it was because my club was still new. Maybe after a few more shows this place would really get attention. There was always the Dragon Ball world, the Fairy Tail guild, some of my buddies from the Final Fantasy worlds. D'oh! I just remembered, I hadn't heard from Twilight Sparkle or the rest of the Mane Six in a long time. I better make sure to send a letter or something to Equestria next time.

"Hey, Bigby," Good ole' Marceline said as she floated up to me. "How's it hanging?"

"Hey, Marceline," I greeted the Vampire Queen back. "Eh, so-so. Yourself?"

"Meh," Marceline replied with a shrug. "Can't complain. Saw the update you had for Bleach: Ultimate Alien."

I perked up. "Oh really? What did you think?"

"I think the story is moving forward, but the plot for the Ultimate Heroes crossover is going a little slow."

"I know, I know," I told her. "Don't worry. We'll be getting there."

"Cool, cool," Marceline said before grinning at me. "So, you need help starting the show again?"

I rolled my eyes at the playful jib. I was still nervous but also a lot more confident since my last show. I figured that I might as well give it a try this time.

"I think I'm good," I told the Vampire Queen. She must have picked on my tone because she nodded understandably.

"Well, I'll be there to bail you out in case you choke again," Though she winked to show that she was still kidding.

"You're quite the motivational speaker," I replied dryly.

Marceline just grinned. "Merry Christmas, Bigby!" With that she went over to a table where the characters from Ooo were sitting. I took a moment to get a better look at the crowd. Looked like another full house, as well as some new comers. Sweet. Word had been getting around. Boy was I glad that I learned from the last night and gotten myself a little staff to help me keep the place maintained.

I waited a few more minutes to make sure everyone was inside before brushing my clothes off and making my way to the center of the stage. "Hello, everyone!" I called out to my audience. "And a Merry Christmas from Bigby's Den!"

"Merry Christmas, Bigby!" Everyone shouted back.

"It's great to see you all again, I know it's been awhile since last time," That got some laughter from the crowd. "Now, I don't know if what I've got planned today compares to that, but I hope it'll do."

"Aw, come on, Bigby," Jack Frost called from her table. "You know we like spending time with you just as much as you like spending time with us."

I smiled at him. "Thanks, Jack. I appreciate that."

"Is your family doing anything for Christmas, Bigby?" The Tooth Fairy asked me.

I shook my head. "Nah, we're just having a quiet time at home this year. We did decorate a tree. Sadly, we had to throw away the first one we bought and had to get a new one."

"What happened to your old tree?" Asami Sato asked. Christmas may not have been a holiday in her and Korra's world but at least they liked being involved.

"It started dying out even though we kept it watered," I explained. "We did get the tree back in November though."

"Why did you get the tree so early?" Ben Tennyson asked me.

"Mom wanted to get our tree early, to avoid a hassle," I answered. "Pity it didn't quit work out. My brother thinks it was because we had the tree positioned right under the air conditioner and maybe the heat was causing the tree to die out, but it's all just guesswork."

"Sorry to hear about your tree problem, Bigby," Sora said.

Nicholas St. North, aka North, aka Santa Claus, nodded as he crossed his arms. "Always a shame when perfectly good tree goes before its time."

"Eh, it's no problem," I said with a reassuring smile. "Luckily we hadn't decorated the first tree so that was convenient."

"Was there anything you wanted for Christmas, Bigby?" Cinderella asked, her mouse friends Jacque and Gus sitting on her table.

"Not really," I replied. "I have loads of stuff and there's nothing that I couldn't just buy myself."

"Let me guess," Korra grinned. "More pens and notebooks?" I simply gave Korra an impassive look but I knew I wasn't fooling anyone if the amused chuckles from the audience were any indication. "Come on, Bigby. We all know how obsessed you are about handwriting things compared to typing them."

"I'm not obsessed, Korra," I told her firmly, which only made the Avatar cross her arms and smirk at me.

"Oh and how many notebooks and pens do you have lying around your house?" She ribbed.

I rolled my eyes. "Anyway, I'm thinking about buying Omega Ruby. My friend Nerfherder97 wants me to get either it since he already has Alpha Sapphire. That way we can have pokemon battles with each other."

"Why didn't you just ask to have that for Christmas?" North asked me, though his tone was more curious than shocked or upset.

"No. I still need a 3DS and I don't feel right asking someone else to get me both the game and the game console. I've recently gotten a raise at my job so I am getting more money. Maybe after my next paycheck or so, then I'll buy the 3DS and Omega Ruby. That aside, my family's just had a nice little Christmas at home. Unfortunately it was a warm Christmas this year so we didn't get any snow." That suddenly gave me an idea but I decided to file it away for later. "Now it's time to get one with the rest of the show."

"What do you have planned for tonight's show, Bigby?" Ichigo Kurosaki shouted to me.

"Well, for starters, I have some put some more thought into my plans of becoming an official writer."

This got everybody's attention. "Oh? What do you have in mind, Bigby?" Bunnymund the Easter Bunny asked.

"Well," I began. "At the moment, I really don't have any ideas for writing a full-length novel so I've decided that I'm going to start my career by writing short stories."

"That's a good start," Gwen Tennyson said. "A lot of authors are known for short stories. Steven King, H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur Conan Doyle, Hans Christian Andersen…"

"Let me guess," Marceline spoke up, grinning at me. "You also picked short stories because you think writing them will be easier, don't you?"

I shot the Vampire Queen the most deadpan look I could manage.

"We know you, Bigby," Marceline said. "Always trying to take the easy road. Hey look, if you want to write short stories go for it. Just don't go thinking that a shorter story means you can slack off while writing it."

I slouched. "I know, Marceline. I know. I won't deny, I do thinking start with short stories would be better for me than trying to force myself to write a novel right off the bat. I doubt my first few stories will become any remotely close to best-sellers but I'd like to believe that they'll at least me on the map."

"All the same," Alice said, sitting with the Cheshire Cat, March Hare, and Hatter, the dormouse snoozing in a cup on their table. "We wish you the best of luck, Bigby, and hope you succeed in becoming a professional writer."

"You know you already have our support," Mulan pitched.

"Go for it, Bigby!" Luffy cheered for me, the rest of his crew following his sentiment.

"Well thank you, guys," I said, straightening my back out. "I do appreciate it. Next item today; I'm starting on the prologue to the remake of the Snow Queen and the Winter Knight series. And yes, before anyone says anything, I know it's about time."

More laughter from the audience; I could see those like Anna and Amethyst looking a little put out that I managed to beat them to the punch.

"Well, care to tell us anything about the story so far?" Anna asked, determined to have her say one way or another.

"Nothing that I haven't told you already," I said with a shrug before something came to me. I smacked my forehead. "Oh, right, now I remember. I've decided that I'm going to write all my future stories like an actual book."

This seemed to confuse everyone. Okay, I'll admit that I was a little too vague in my description. Well, time to go into specifics.

"What I mean is that I've been reading stories by a man named Ridley Pearson. For those of you not familiar with him, he is known for writing the Kingdom Keepers series. He's also the co-author, alongside his friend Dave Barry, of Peter and the Starcatchers, an alternate universe series to Peter Pan. His books have loads of chapters but they are of varying lengths. Some chapters are even just two to three pages long! Now I doubt I will ever write chapters that short but…"

"I get it!" Nami put her fist in her open palm. "You think that by writing the way he does, you'll have shorter chapters…"

"But you'll be able to counter this by writing more chapters in a shorter amount of time," Nico Robin finished.

"In theory anyway. It's not a full-proof plan," I acknowledged. "But I'd like to think it's worth a shot."

"I don't see why it couldn't be," Franky the cyborg said, scratching his chin with one massive hand. "This, combined with your plan of posting stories only after they're complete, should allow you to finish your stories faster."

"You mean actually finish his stories for once!" Amethyst couldn't resist saying.

"Amethyst!" Pearl scolded her.

"Ow!" I said, putting a hand over my heart. "Ow! I tell you what; ow! I know you're speaking the truth Amethyst but come on! That's hitting below the belt right there!"

Amethyst shrugged but Garnet turned her head towards her fellow Gem. It was hard to tell what sort of face she was making behind her shades but it was obvious to all that she was probably giving Amethyst a stern look. It looked like the smaller Gem realized she was in trouble and withered under Garnet's intense gaze.

"I heard about you often start writing, only to suddenly stop and then delete your stories," Ladybug said with genuine curiosity. "Why do you do that, Bigby?"

"Uh," I honestly wasn't expecting such a question tonight, mainly because everyone else already knew about my writing habits. Of course, since Ladybug was new to the gang, it made since that she wouldn't know yet. I decided to put what I had planned on hold to explain myself to her.

"Well, Ladybug, back when I was younger, I was extremely confident, oh heck, I was arrogant in my writing abilities. And I thought that once I had an idea, I would keep writing until that story was done."

"Unfortunately," Sanji said, before taking a puff of his cigarette and exhaling a fume of smoke. "Bigby made the majority of his stories on a whim and just wrote whatever came to mind."

"Once he ran out of his initial steam, he just couldn't get himself motivated to write more," Chad said from the table for Bleach characters.

I cringed, wondering if Chad was upset over that time I tried and gave up on writing a Total Drama and Bleach crossover with him as the main character.

"Not only that, but Bigby had a habit of making things up on the spot," Bumblebee said, several Autobots nodding in agreement. Oh crap. Were the Dinobots annoyed at me when I stopped writing that Transformers Prime story with them in it?

"So he had a habit of throwing in whatever he thought would improve the story?" Ladybug asked.

Sideswipe laughed. "More like he threw in whatever would make his story look cool, which didn't always help the story, right Bigby?"

I scowled in annoyance but knew he had me there. "Okay, I'm willing to admit that I used to add a bunch of unnecessary stuff because, yes, I thought it would make my stories look "cooler". Of course much later I realized that all I did was make my stories look even more convoluted than they already were."

"Huh," Ladybug said, probably still trying to process all of this in her head.

"Another problem I had was that I posted the first draft of my work," I went on. "I didn't do rough drafts, proofread and then post a final draft. I was so full of myself that I thought I didn't need a rough draft. I now know otherwise."

"Your storytelling still has room for improvement," Optimus Prime said to me. "But you are getting better, Bigby."

I smiled, always happy whenever I got compliments from somebody like Optimus. "Now, do you really mean that?" I asked playfully, pointing a finger in mock accusation at him. "Or are you just saying that to make me feel better?"

"He's being honest, Bigby," Ironhide pitched in. "Sure you're still a little rough around the edges but I'd say you're getting better."

I crossed my arms again, my brow furrowing. I would like to think that my storytelling had improved but I knew I still had a way to go. At least the writing itself was in the capable of hands of my friends Vandenbz and Pyromania101. Course I would try to improve the actual writing so they'd have less hassle when proofreading.

"Our next topic," I said, deciding not to hold up the show. "It's probably obvious by now but some troll has been going around the fanfiction site, harassing authors by using multiple accounts."

The audience gasped at my news.

"It's true," I told them. "The accounts were all created days after each other and they all use the same cliché flames like "Kill yourself" or "This is shit!" or "Worthless dumbass, just die!'""

"Bigby!" Pearl cried, her hands clamped onto Steven's ears. "Language!"

I was both surprised that Pearl was familiar with Earth curse words and sheepish that I had cursed in front of children like Steven. I'm cool with cursing compared to my teenage years but I still try to avoid cursing around kids.

"Sorry, Pearl," I apologized. "Anyway, at first I thought the guy was just targeting me at first so I simply blocked him and planned on annoying him by just writing my stories." I let out a snort. "I did plan on messing with the guy by adding him to my favorites list whenever he flamed me."

"Why would you do that?" Arcee asked.

"Like I said, to mess with the guy. I wanted him to be like "Okay, I'm bashing this guy's story and he's favoring me?!". I was going to keep doing this whenever he flamed me with a new account, hoping it drive him nuts and eventually give up."

Korra shook her head. "You're not good at letting things go, are you, Bigby?"

"Look who's talking," I said dryly. Korra shot me a look while Asami brought a hand to her mouth to cover her giggles. "Alright, now I started doing this at first, and then I learned that it wasn't just me this guy was bothering. Seeing this, I removed him from my favorites list, blocked any of his accounts that I could find out about, and put a note on my account warning other people about him."

Luffy frowned, punching his fists together. "Wish we could kick this guy's ass."

"I'm sure we all do, Luffy," I told him. "People like him think that hiding behind online personas make them untouchable. And sadly, I lack the resources and know-how to track this guy down. Hell, for all I know, the guy's not even in the same country as me."

"Would you really track him down if you could?" Elsa asked me, a light frown on her face.

"If I could afford it," I retorted, causing her frown to deepen and her eyes to narrow. "What? Somebody should teach that guy a lesson."

"So that means you're trying to try and pull a vigilante on us, Bigby?" Kristoff asked with a scoff.

"What, you don't think I could do it?" I challenged.

"If you were angry enough then yes," Alice said. "And in your anger, you would probably do something that ended up causing you more harm than good in the process."

"And probably scar that other guy for life," Kevin Levin added with a smirk.

I gave my audience the widest grin I could manage. "Great! That's the kind of pain that never goes away!"

"I thought that was emotional pain," Ben said casually.

"Same thing," I told him.

"Bigby…" Garnet said slowly, her gaze fixed on me. "No. If by some lucky chance you find the whereabouts of this person, report him to the proper figures and let them deal with it."

"~Garnet!" I said in a false, whiny tone, slouching forward like a depressed kid being denied his favorite toy. "~You never let me have any fun anymore!"

Kevin shuddered at my display. "Bigby…don't ever do that again."

"~Awww but Keviiiiin!" I whined at him.

"Bigby, I swear I'll…" Kevin started to threaten before Gwen put a hand on his shoulder.

"What Kevin is trying to say, Bigby," The Anodite-Human hybrid said her placating tone more towards Kevin than me. "Is that he is uncomfortable with the way you're talking and would appreciate it if you would talk normally."

"Suuure he does," I couldn't help said, my tone full of sarcasm. "But okay, Gwen, since you asked so nicely, I'll stop."

"You're just going to use another tone instead aren't you?" Kevin asked in a deadpan tone.

"Probably," I admitted unapologetically. "But getting back to what I was saying before, that troll guy's trash and he tries to make himself feel better by annoying people who are clearly superior to him. The best thing we authors on the fanfiction site can do is block the loser and just continue writing our stories like he doesn't exist. The fact that we're still writing despite his harassing should eventually annoy him to the point where he'll realize that he's just wasting his breath, and that's no great loss either."

"That's Bigby for ya," Donald Duck said. "Even if he can do anything, he'll always find some way to get the better of someone else."

"What can I say, Donald. When it comes to the internet, words are your only weapons and you got to figure out the best way to use them, whether it's direct or indirect."

"You think this guy will ever stop, Bigby?" Goofy asked.

"Hard to say. I haven't seen any more reviews from him, but I don't know if he finally gave up or if he's just lying low. Only thing we can really do is hope for the best but prepare for the worst."

"That's very optimistic of you," Leonardo told me sardonically.

"I consider it being practical."

"So, Bigby," Michelangelo raised his hand. "When do we eat, man? I'm starving!"

"Relax, Mikey," I reassured him. "A few more announcements and then we'll eat. I promise." I turned back to the rest of the audience. "Next, I'm considering writing a collection of one-shots. A bunch of ideas I wanted to write about, but don't have enough time or inspiration for making them into multi-chapter stories. This is another way for me to get my ideas out of my head without going through my usual routine of starting a story and then dropping it."

"Well, as long as it helps your writing, Bigby. Do you think you might turn one of those one-shots into an actual story someday?"

"I wouldn't say it's impossible but I could never say for certain. Only time will really tell. Next, and here's a big one." I paused to keep the others in suspense. "You see, I have taken an interest in another series." There was stirring and several gasps from the crowd. "That's right! I have officially gotten into JoJo's Bizarre Adventure!"

"What made you get into JoJo, Bigby?" Rukia asked me. "That series is pretty…well, bizarre."

"Oh trust me, that series may be a little coco but it's definitely more serious than a series like Bobobo-bo Bo-bobobo." That earned a collective cringe from my audience. I guess even they felt that series was too weird for their tastes. Wonder what they thought of Gintama. "Anyway, why did I get into JoJo? Well, I think it was because I remembered it years back, when I was skimming a brief part of it in a Shonen Jump magazine. Even though I was more absorbed into other series at the time, I never quite forgot about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and desire to find out what that series was about. Finally, when I was all caught up in every other anime series I was into, I decided to finally give this one a chance. Now, I was thrown off when I learned the series was divided into, currently, eight parts, and that Part 3: Stardust Crusaders was the first American released version. Of course, it's always good to start from the beginning so I went to Part 1: Phantom Blood, which I read on a website called KissManga. It's crazy how…different Stardust Crusaders and onward are compared to Phantom Blood and Part 2: Battle Tendency. All the same the series has me hooked. I even managed to get my head manager into the series. She really liked how there was actually a character named Robert E.O. Speedwagon in it. Sadly, I couldn't really get my brother into it. But, to each his own."

"Uh oh," Ben said in overly dramatic concern. "I think I know where this is going. Bigby, you said you weren't going to make any more spur of the moment stories."

"Well, I never used those exact words now did I?" I pointed out to him. "But, you are onto something there, Ben. One of the reasons I brought up JoJo, other than announcing my interest in the series, is the fact that I am intrigued by the idea of writing my own JoJo's Bizarre Adventure crossover. In the future anyway. I've already get several projects lined up."

"How many projects do you have, Bigby?" Dipper said, sitting with his twin Mabel and their grunkles Stan and Ford.

"I'm so glad you asked, Dipper," I began digging into my pockets. "Now I had that thing in here somewhere."

Mabel cringed. "Oh no. Don't tell me you've started one of those overcomplicated checklists like my brother does, Bigby."

"Mabel," Dipper hissed at his sister, definitely not thrilled about his more embarrassing moments being brought up.

"Found it," I pulled out a folded piece of paper. Mabel looked worried as I started to unfold it but let out a sigh of relief when she saw that it was a normally folded piece of paper instead of that mammoth of one her brother had made.

"Why did you bring a list of your projects, Bigby?" Orihime asked.

"Oh I always carry this with me," I explained. "That way I can keep better track of what I'm working on." I skimmed my list. "Now let me see. Naturally we have my upcoming Frozen story. And then we have my Bleach: Ultimate story, plus me crossing it over with Incredible Muffin's Unlimited Justice and Blazorna Ibara's Troubles of a Misplaced Hero. That reminds, I started reading it all the way from the beginning to make sure there wasn't anything I missed. I need to get back to that."

"Bigby," Tiana, who was sitting with her husband Prince Naveen, politely interrupted my thoughts. "Your list?"

"Heh, sorry about that. Anyway, a pal of mine called the Porter wants to collaborate with me on remaking Ten Piece."

Ben and Luffy raised their heads at this.

"I heard you gave your chapters to a guy called Spartan of Chaos," Zoro said.

"Well, I suggested he and Porter could do a collaboration but since Spartan wanted to do his own thing with Ten Piece, I let him. He can do that, while Porter and I do our own version of a crossover between One Piece and Ben 10. Speaking of that, another friend called Darkmachines is hoping we can do an alternate version of a Bleach crossover with Ben 10. Darkmachines is hoping we can use some of his original characters like his Arrancar Skullak."

"Skullak," Harribel crossed her arms. "I remember hearing about him. Isn't Cirucci his wife?"

"Yep, Skullak has a pretty sizeable harem."

"Who's Ben gonna hook up with in this story?" Kevin asked jokingly.

"Well Darkmachines doesn't think Ben needs a love interest in this one," I answered. "Meh. If we can pull off a pairing for Ben, I'm all up for it. If we can't, well, no great loss either."

"Ow!" Kevin laughed. "Hear that, Ben? No great loss."

"Oh no, no, I didn't mean it like that!" I said hastily, holding my hands out. "If I can pull off a pairing convincingly, then I'm all up for making it. But if the pairing just looks forced, then I'd not going to bother."

"Are you sure you'll be alright with that decision, Bigby?" Princess Aurora asked. Everyone had a look on their faces that implied they were all thinking the same exact thing.

"Oh I'll admit it will take some getting used to, but I've written stories without romantic subplots before. I'm sure I can do it again," I replied before looking back at my list. "I also got a request from my friend Mace sheperd, the author of The Multiverse Travels of Ben 10. Now, unlike Darkmachines, he doesn't want me to do a Ben 10 crossover. Mace wants my help in writing a crossover between the video game Dead Space and the classic book series The Animorphs."

"A crossover between Animorphs and Dead Space?" Eugene, formerly Flynn Rider, tilted his head. "Is that a good idea for a crossover, Bigby?"

I shrugged my shoulders again. I think I was doing that a little too much during this show. "I'll admit that a crossover like this might be challenging but I still find it to be a very possible crossover. Mace is the brains behind this story so I'll write it how he wants it. Maybe see if I can come up with a few ideas to help out."

"Don't bite off more than you can chew, Bigby," Pearl cautioned me. "I understand you want to help your friends but you do have a habit of saying you'll do something before actually seeing if you can do it."

"You're absolutely right, Pearl," I pointed a finger for emphasis. "I'm sure that if I work at my own pace, plus my new writing strategies, then I should be able to accomplish my projects. Especially since I'm trying to work out the details for my last one. So far anyway."

Pearl groaned. "Oh I should have known. Bigby, you really need to just focus on one story at a time. We've all established that, why can't you follow through with it?"

"I'm not about to start this project right now. I'm just letting everyone know in advance so that they know what to expect," I cleared my throat. "Now as I was saying, I'm thinking about trying to do a crossover that has never been done, as far as I know. I have seen so many Ben 10 crossovers lately; Bleach, Fairy Tail, Transformers, Mass Effect, Justice League, Danny Phantom, RWBY, Teen Titans, Avatar: The Last Airbender. That reminds me, nobody has gotten back to me on my request for a Ben 10 crossover with Miraculous Ladybug. I thought at least somebody would want to write that."

"Bigby!" Princess Bubblegum shouted, causing me to jump. "Focus!"

"Alright, alright, can't a guy muse to himself anymore? Sheesh," I brushed my jacket off. "Look, bottom line is that after seeing all these crossovers with Ben 10 become commonplace, I want to write a crossover that's unique, never thought of before, once again, as far as I know. And it's why I brought up the new series I was into before."

Ben raised both his eyebrows at this news. "Are you saying…"

"That's right!" I punched the air for emphasis. "I want to write a Ben 10 crossover with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure."

"Oh no!" Kevin smacked his forehead. "Bigby's gone and done it again!"

"A crossover between our series and JoJo," Gwen cupped her chin as she mused the thought over. "Well, I do think it make a little more sense than a crossover with Bleach. Uh no offense, Ichigo."

"None taken," Ichigo said coolly.

"Okay, now I'll admit, this is also only in the planning stage," I assured everyone. "I'm still trying to think of what the actual plot would be and how your stories cross over together. I have a few ideas but nothing is final and like always, all ideas are welcomed."

"How exactly is a crossover between our series and JJBA supposed to work?" Kevin asked. "The people in that universe have powers that can only be seen by other people with those kinds of powers. Uh, what are they called again?"

"They're called Stands and trust me, Kevin," I replied. "That was the first thing I took into consideration. Now, the best way for Ben to be able to face Stand Users without a forced explanation is simple: Ben gains a Stand."

Ben sat straight up. "A Stand? You're giving me a Stand in your story?"

"At the moment that's how it looks," I quickly pointed out. "The tricky part is coming up with a Stand power for you. I've got the appearance down, I just need the powers and name."

"Aren't all Stands named after musicians, songs and albums?" Amethyst asked. "How hard can it be to find a name?"

"I'm worried all the good ones are taken."

"Why does it have to be a music name?" Sora asked. "Couldn't you just call it any name you want?"

"Well, yeah, but I want to be faithful to the source material," I explained. "I mean, I could use always something like Champion from Queens or maybe All Star by Smash Mouth."

"Well that sounds pretty cool," Ben said, apparently interested in my story idea. "So, what about my Omnitrix? Do I keep that and whatever Stand you give me?"

"I've been thinking about that too, Ben," I tapped my chin. "Naturally having a Stand is necessary for you to fight the Stand Users of the JoJo universe. But your Omnitrix provided you with such a wide variety of abilities that I couldn't think of a Stand that could possibly come close to it. So for the moment, I'm thinking about maybe giving you a Stand with more support based powers, allowing you to still require the Omnitrix to fight. Unless of course you wanted a Stand that did more of the fighting for you."

"Well, I did see some pictures of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and that one Stand, Star Platinum, looked pretty cool," Ben said. "Couldn't you just give me an Omnitrix that lets me turned into Stands instead of aliens?"

I laughed. "Would you believe me if I told you I actually had considered giving you something like that. But no. Not only would that make you extremely overpowered, depending on what Stands I gave you, I just don't see how I could possibly create an Omnitrix that turns the wielder into Stands of all things. I'm worried that would be way too contrived."

"He does have a point," Gwen added. "Especially since Stands are nothing like DNA. It looks like Bigby's idea of giving you more of a supportive Stand makes the best sense. For now anyway."

"Alright, fine," Ben said in resignation. "But hey, if you ever come up with more ideas for this crossover, let me know. I am curious about it now."

"I'm more worried about Bigby wasting his time with this idea then working on his actual stories," Kevin retorted, giving me the Stink Eye. "Right, Bigby?"

I smiled sheepishly. "Okay, you got me. I have been giving this new idea a bit more attention than my current work. But I wanted to let you guys know about this first and then I'll get back to my main stories. I promise."

"Bigby," Anna put her hands on her hips. "Even though we know you mean well, you're not really good at keeping your promises."

"Okay, okay, fine!" I shouted. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

Stan Pines guffawed at me. "He actually did a Pinkie Promise! I don't believe it!"

"Now I won't lie, I probably will make notes on my other story ideas but I will work on my actual stories too. Honest!" I promised.

"Alright, Bigby," Elsa said, putting a hand on her sister's shoulder. "We trust you."

I sighed, that little reaction taking more out of me than I thought it would. "Phew. Now that that's settled, I think it's time for us to finally eat. Hope you guys all like pizza."

"Pizza?!" The Ninja Turtles all shouted happily.

"You actually ate pizza for dinner?" Jack asked, grinning.

"My family was tired of turkey and ham," I said. "I think we overdid it on our Thanksgiving dinner."

North looked scandalized. Ham was a traditional Christmas so the thought of eating something else instead, like pizza, must've been shocking to him.

I snapped my fingers and living suits of armor began coming out of the kitchen, carrying plates of various pizza and drinks.

Belle laughed as she saw the armors walking around serving food. "Armor, Bigby?"

"I like armor," I said. "So I picked up a few tips from Beast's castle and Hotel Transylvania."

"And they know how to cook pizza?" Sanji asked as some armor placed food down at the crew's table.

"Oh no the pizza was ordered from pizza restaurants across the multiverse."

"Uh, Bigby, how did you get the money to pay for all of this?" Marceline asked, helping herself to some red from a pepperoni.

"Oh, I made a fortune during my old multiverse adventuring days," I replied smugly. "And this isn't even going to put a dent in my finances. Pity multiverse money is no good back in my world or I'd be the richest man on the planet."

"Aw, nice!" Amethyst shoved an entire pizza into her mouth, Pearl grimacing at her fellow Gem's lack of manners.

"Well, everyone, dig in!" I declared. Just as everybody was about to eat, my thought from earlier came back to me. "Oh and Elsa?"

"Yes?" The queen of Arendelle responded.

"Since I wasn't able to experience a white Christmas this year," I put my hands together in pleading. "Could you…"

Elsa smiled, showing her shining white pearls. "Sure thing, Bigby." She got up from her table, raised her hands and fired a ball of magic into the air. The ball bursts into snowflakes that began sprinkling down onto us.

"Hey!" Michealangelo cried out. "Don't get snowflakes on the pizza."

"It's just water," Kristoff pointed out to him. "You'll be fine!"

"Thanks, Elsa!" I gave her a salute. Everyone else applauded Elsa, who gave them a flourishing bow before sitting down beside Anna again.

"Well, everyone. Dig in!"

…

Soon the pizza was devoured and everyone was sitting back, well-fed and content.

"Hey, Bigby," Anna said. "Since it's Christmas and all, how about listening to a Christmas song before we end the show?"

I think I smiled my biggest grin yet. "That's a brilliant idea, Anna. And I think I've got the perfect song in mind. You guys all up for a little singing?"

"Sure," Marceline said.

"I'm up for it," Amethyst raised her hand.

"Yeah, let's sing!" Luffy punched the air.

One by one, everyone else seemed to agree about singing a Christmas song.

"Alright, everyone," I raised a hand. "Here we go!"

I snapped my fingers and music began to fill the air. It was a cheerful, upbeat down that seemed to fit the Christmas spirit.

"I'll start off!" I said. "~It's in the singing of a street corner choir, it's going home and getting warm by the fire. It's true, where ever you find love, it feels like Christmas!"

"~A cup of kindness that we share with another," Anna sang. "A sweet reunion with a friend or a brother. In all the places you find love, it feels like Christmas!"

"~It is the season of the heart," Elsa picked up. "A special time of caring. The ways of love made clear!"

Steven Universe went next. "It is the season of the spirit. The message if we hear it is 'Make it last all year!"

"~It's in the giving of a gift to another," Ladybug sang. "A pair of mittens that were made by your mother."

"~It's all the ways that we show love that feel like Christmas!" We sang together.

"~A part of childhood we'll always remember," The Ninja Turtles sang together. "It is the summer of the soul in December. It's when you do your best for love, it feels like Christmas!"

"~It is the season of the heart!" I sang. "A special time of caring. The ways of love made clear."

"~ It is the season of the spirit!" We all sang together. "The message if we hear it, is 'Make it last all year'!"

Several of the audience began getting up and dancing with each other, moving rather quickly despite the fact that they had just eaten. I smiled at the scene of my friends being so happy.

"~It's in the singing of a street corner choir," I sang again. "It's going home and getting warm by the fire. It's true, where ever you find love, it feels like Christmas. It's true, where ever you find love, it feels like Christmas. It feels like Christmas! It feels like Christmas! It feels like Christmas!" Slowly the music began dying down. "Merry Christmas, guys! And Happy New Year!"

"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Bigby!"

"Goodnight, everyone! See you next time!"

One by one my friends began filing out of the Den while the suits of armor began collecting all the dirty dishes. The Autobots made sure everyone else had left before them so they didn't step on anyone by accident. Phew. What a day this had been for me. But you know, it was still a pretty good Christmas to me.

"It's true wherever you find love," I sang to myself as I walked off the stage. "It feels like Christmas."

End of Chapter

Merry Christmas everybody! Well guys, that concludes another chapter of Bigby's Den. Hope you all enjoyed it. I am trying to get more characters into the show so if there is any you want to see, feel free to let me know. Yes, I am planning on doing a series of one-shots and yes, I am brainstorming ideas for a Ben 10/JoJo's Bizarre Adventure crossover. Yes, I am going to work on the stories I actually have up but that doesn't mean I can't plan a little in advance. Hey if anyone has a decent idea for a Stand for Ben or just ideas in general, feel free to PM me. My door is always open to new ideas and suggestions.

I think I pretty much covered all I wanted to talk about it in the actual chapter itself so I'm going to head out now. Once again, Merry Christmas, everyone. And if I don't manage to update before then, have a Happy New Year!
